Number of rape cases last year doubled...The number of rape cases reported to the police last year was the highest since data started being recorded in 2008, figures show.Police statistics show 23 rape cases were reported last year, more than double the number recorded in 2014. Prior to 2008, the police used a different incident reporting system which grouped together all sexual offences, including violent indecent assault, indecent exposure and defilement of minors.

Nope... Democracy is the most valuable good we possess... But you have to take care of it and there's people that don't... Among those are people that vote "out" and then google afterwards...

no idea if you intend to be funny - but actually, she is... She is trying to achieve the will of her people... And thus YOU of all people should support her...

Sorry I did not understand your second paragraph re turkey

And you should... Problems start once people deem their culture superior, mote important than others, or others inferior to oneself... Anf quite feankly I sometimes get the idea you're on the verge of that... Give it time, culture will prevail... And maybe even grow and expand...

And the second paragraph basically meant that the extreme right and the growing number of people sympathizing with them - despite NOT agreeing in most of the claims - put pressure on established parties to make those kind of deals with Turkey... And while I am FOR helping people in need, I don't see another and better solution for now either... Cause I'm not blind and I know "we" cannot take everybody in... Erdogan keeping the best educated refugees is really another issue...

And @Janker: make us 52nd then A great way to make sure you're on top of the food chain really

Cause it's not the same How often do I have to say it? Also, really, I don't even care about Scotland... But the fact remains that them and the English are very divided in many ways... So MAYBE it's better for them... MAYBE Brexit is better for the English as well - I highly doubt it... But I see no double standard in expressing my opinion on both which could be very different indeed... I honestly think there are no winners in Brexit... And should the Scots actually start another referendum I think that proof would speak for itself...

Got nothing to do with democracy and separatist ideas. UK leaving the EU is flat out a bad economical decision. Scotland leaving the UK to join the EU is (or at least it should theoretically be) a good one.

If those who arrive respect the country that accepts them and do not demand anything like the removal of Crosses, Churches, more worship places for their religion for me it is OK. They can work, pay taxes and contribute... plus they have to learn the language etc etc.T

The Problem is that we are giving away everything that our forefathers fought for to accommodate the newcomers, and please don't tell me that this is not true. Do you think that if you go to their country they will change anything to accommodate you? No.

I had this discussion with a friend on Saturday and I agree with you. I even made the same point regarding the language.

I have no problem with those who choose to remain in their own communities either, as long as they are there either legally or as genuine refugees, and as long as they do not try to reinstate their culture outside their own community.

The EU has nothing to do with all this however. Except perhaps for a divide between East and West, on the whole European peoples are very similar in culture and thought. Our discussion on this matter started on the basis of what makes a person Maltese or German, for example. My belief (as I have said before) is that it has nothing to do with parents. If a person has had his entire upbringing in one country, I consider him to be from there. Similarly, I would consider someone who has lived for 20 years in a foreign country, speaks the language, and has immersed himself in the culture and contributed to society (rather than isolated himself in a community of his own people) to be from that country in addition to his country of upbringing.

No... Maybe not... But what we believe in should stand regardless, shouldn't it?! If you only give when you get back it's not really belief...I REALLY think they will... Manymany here in Germany do... Or at least try... Of course, there's always a few that don't... And I agree, those who only start trouble and do nothing and then even go on to do crimes should be kicked out... But I think the only way for it to work is not just say "themthemthem"... Integration only works, if both sides are willing to do it... So we have to reach out for them with a helping hand... And if they spit on it, so long... I think the vast majority won't...

I don't know about the Situation in Malta, I really don't... But right here we're not giving up anything... We just ensure everyone is free to exert their religion, no matter which one it may be... And the way I see it, that's EXACTLY what former generations fought for here...

The UK was before the EU... nobody knows how much longer will the EU last... so before we proclaim Scotland's separatism a genius move, we'll have to wait and see what will happen of the EU. If the EU is about to fall, A united UK could be the stronger VS others in Europe...

Double standards is what is making the EU fall apart... the UK was only a strategic partner but a heavy one to the EU... and only the blind could not see that there was never anything more than that.

If the Scottish want their independence, I have nothing against that too...

And I don't see how the Scottish can profit more from the EU than from the UK... it's debatable but you all seem to have everything sorted out just to prove your own theories right and others wrong.
